Are these good for running as well as cycling?

I think they would be excellent for running. The silicone grippers do a great job of keeping them in place.

I am not a runner, but from what I know about leg warmers, they might slide down due to the motion of your arms.

The only thing holding me back from saying these are as good for running as they are for cycling is that they're designed to fit best in cycling positions. They fit best in that position but would probably do very well with running, otherwise

they are earbuds. They are suitable to street walking or riding and keep awareness of surroundings. I bought them for biking and they are OK, fit well, do not fall.

I agree with Keith. I'm using them right now, these things are in my ears all the time. I'm not sure they'd be great for running, unless they were under a shirt, but for lifting they're fine. If you're up for the investment, I'd recommend these to anybody and everybody.

I don't use them for biking, but I do use them in the winter for pedaling my kayak...works the same. I wear insulated socks with them and they work great for me.

I wouldn't recommend this for running. Though the earphones itself create a good seal on your canals, the breaks from the cords to the earphones itself might allow water to seep in. Although if you think about it, these are used as monitors, so hypothetically, they CAN be used for running.

They work well for running but not at high speeds. I've used it on my bike and get a lot of wind noise that drowns out the music. They work at the gym but not as well as the type that are earbuds.

I use them for jogging all the time. They are more stable than the ear bud earphones I had. They may feel a little heavy and sweaty after you run for some time, but otherwise they're fine. I just ran a half marathon with these on my ears and had no issues whatsoever.

They are indeed good headphones for listening and travelling, but I would not recommend them for running.

I wear them when I ride my bike. Everyone once in a while, they become loose and I need to stop and tighten the straps. I wouldn't recommend wearing them while running, but that would a decision you would need to make for yourself.

Actually, they can be worn during any physical activity. Since I'm a gym rat they work great during interval or circuit training. Try them either way and I'm sure you'll be pleased.

For running they are great but for the gym they can get in the way. I use my earbuds at the gym.

They fit fairly comfortably, but not particularly tight. Kinda depends on a lot of things. Personally, I'd stick to ear buds or over ear(as opposed to over head) headphones for running/ jogging.

I can only answer from a road cycling perspective as I got these for riding in colder weather. However feet moving for running is a different matter than feet moving on pedals. I was "okay" at 40 degrees F, although I would've liked my feet to have felt warmer.

Yes, they are light enough. I am a pitcher in senior softball and I wear them when pitching and sometimes I leave them on when I bat. They do not impede my running.

Yes, they work well for biking. They have hook and loop closure straps at the bottom of the legs that can be tightened enough to keep the material from getting caught in the chain. I have worn mine for over a hundred miles without a problem.

I'd say sort of. They have a little flex but keep their shape pretty well. I used them on a two week bike tour through some rough dirt roads, rain, wind, etc and they held their shape pretty well.

They hold up well. I wear them daily in like climate. I do wear a glove liner under them for extra protection and warmth. But if you cycling you should be fine without the liner
